The Times CSP- Representation and Industry

1) What representation of private schools can be found on the main front page story of the Times?

The private school is seemed to be some sort of hero that they have saved millions of money for people paying for the school.

2) What representation of the Conservative Party can be found in the story at the top of the front page 'Calls for criminal enquiry as top ministers deny security leak'?

It makes them seem like a bad person as the word "criminal" is associated with things that are illegal or bad.

3) How are the Royal Family represented in the Times? (See front page 'Fitting tribute' - Duchess of Cambridge picture and the inside page 'Royal Anzac Day on both sides of the world'). 

They are represented as being important but not being the main event by not entirely covering up the paper so that other headlines or stories can actually be seen.

4) How does the coverage of the Royal Family in the Times contrast with the reporting of the same events in the Daily Mirror?

The Times has a more formal tone and representation to it while the daily mirror has a more colloquial tone to it by addressing its audience by saying different things and giving the royal family nicknames.

5) How are British people and Muslims represented in the article and sidebar 'Sri Lanka tourists warned of more terror'?

They make the British people the victims of the situation and the Muslim as a suspect and then makes them seem even worse by just addressing it as "Muslims" which is a very offensive towards them.

5) Why do some people want stronger regulation of British newspapers? 

Instead of just having things like the royal family things being focused they want more on the main events, things like recent events or "proper news" like murder or new rules on the Covid-19 situation.
